Power Meets Precision: The Kress KC320.9 Commercial-Grade 60V Top-Handle Chainsaw (Tool Only)

For professional arborists, landscapers, and tree care specialists, having the right tool for elevated cutting tasks isn’t just a convenience — it’s a necessity. If you’re looking to ditch petrol fumes while still achieving gas-equivalent power in a compact, professional-grade battery-powered chainsaw, the Kress KC320.9 Commercial-Grade 60V Top-Handle Chainsaw (Tool Only) is engineered to deliver. 

Professional Power in a Lightweight Package

The KC320.9 is built for serious cutting performance. Its 2.4 kW commercial-grade brushless motor produces power on par with a 45cc petrol chainsaw, giving you impressive cutting capability for pruning, limbing, and aerial work — all powered by a 60 V battery platform. 

With a high-speed chain capable of reaching up to 24 metres and a 0.325 lp Oregon chain, this tool is engineered for fast, smooth, and efficient cuts with reduced kickback — ideal for professionals who need precision and speed in demanding conditions. 

Designed for Arborists and Height Work

As a top-handle chainsaw, the KC320.9 is particularly suited to arborist applications where mobility and balance are key. Its compact, lightweight design (around 2.5kg without battery and bar) improves maneuverability when working above the ground or in tight tree canopies. 

The ergonomic build makes this saw comfortable to operate while providing the control professionals demand when working at height — a perfect blend of power and agility. 

Professional-Grade Features for Real World Work

Kress has equipped the KC320.9 with features that help it stand up to the rigours of commercial tree care:

• Commercial brushless motor — More efficient, longer lasting and low maintenance versus brushed designs. 

• Tooled chain tensioning system — Allows precise adjustments in the field for optimal performance. 

• Inertia chain brake — Rapid chain stop for essential safety during kickback events. 

• Stainless steel bumper spike — Enhances stability and cutting control on tough cuts. 

• Adjustable oil pump — Tailor lubrication to wood type and cutting conditions to extend chain life. 

• IPX5 water resistance — Built to withstand professional outdoor environments. 

These features combine to create a robust, reliable tool that professionals can depend on day after day. 

Tool Only — Flexible for Your Battery Fleet

Since the KC320.9 is offered as a tool-only unit, you can pair it with the 60V battery and charger that best suits your workload — whether that’s fast-charging packs for extended jobs or lighter batteries for improved maneuverability. This flexibility helps reduce upfront costs while integrating seamlessly into your existing Kress 60V ecosystem. 

Ideal for Professionals Who Demand More

This commercial-grade top-handle chainsaw is perfect for:

• Arborists requiring balanced, overhead cutting performance. 

• Landscapers and tree care contractors looking to replace petrol tools with cleaner, quieter battery alternatives. 

• Teams invested in a shared 60V battery platform that supports multiple tools. 

• Anyone requiring gas-comparable power without exhaust emissions and reduced maintenance.
